Nine Pre-Fall Trends You Need To Know About Now

The pre-fall 2017 collections serve up the need-to-know trends that will be shaping your summer wardrobe. From homespun decoration, to Seventies-inspired graphics and the trouser shape to wear now, your inside guide to next season’s trends starts here.
Kitsch graphics
Prada’s Formica florals are destined to carry over for the latter half of 2017. All eyes are on geometric Seventies graphics and cartoonish animal prints. Cast in a retro colour palette of ochre and autumnal browns.
The ‘Uber’ trouser
Welcome the new, extra-long trouser hemline: Bad news for the commute, but very flattering on shorter legs. Budget your autumn investment carefully though: wearing the pant that pools about the ankle will increase your Uber expenses. You have been warned.
Upscale utility
Switch khaki and pinstripe cotton for Versace’s mulberry fatigues, and note Chloe’s combat pants, the new standard in sharp daywear has a crisp, military edge. The designer name to drop now? New York label Adam Lippes.
Scarlet and fuchsia
Alessandro Michele’s beloved colour pairing is big news for pre-fall. Embrace the clash: according to Valentino, Stella McCartney and Delpozo, the brasher your shades, the better.
Homespun decoration
Gucci, Valentino and Dior are set to champion luxe-handicraft this year (think Seventies crochet knits, offbeat appliqué, and patchwork). Unless your big investment piece looks hand-crafted, it now won’t do.
The power knee high
It’s time to abandon the sexed-up thigh high boot – this Autumn, as a demure mood sweeps in, we’re switching to the sassy evening knee boot instead.
The sharp blazer
Unapologetically angular, the new wave of business-minded blazers by Hermès, Christopher Kane and Stella McCartney are edging cocktail tailoring off the agenda. Extra marks for opting into corporate grey, or cappuccino.
Look-at-me hoisery
Where opaque tights were once the safe option, this year hosiery has had a rainbow makeover. Look to Fendi, Givenchy, and Creatures Of The Wind and do any shade but black.
The volumised day dress
Oversized proportions aren’t going anywhere for autumn. Blow the budget on an oversized floral smock dress now (we love Preen, Altuzarra and Public School) to beat the rest of the pack.

To vigorously promote the 2016 national textile industry model of advanced deeds, promote the selfless spirit of the great craftsmen, "Textile and Apparel Weekly" special launch "ingenuity to build a dream" section, writing and recording the advanced model of glorious history and moving deeds.
